Old habits die hard17 Jun 2021 10:33
Personal experience has made me both bitter and cautious.
Falling in love with a share, dreaming of tomorrow, blaming the mm, damning the traders, cursing the shorters.
A summary of my life with PMO ( now Harbour Oil).
Two realities hold true: 1). The company wants to get money ( from sales, shareholders, market, anywhere... that's business and they'll try anything). And 2). The only value a share has is when you sell it. ( Poolbeg may have value but not yet).
Shareholders in Aim often feel they are part of the company, its future etc. I disagree. We are used, we have utility, and are expendable ( especially when things go wrong).
I trust only myself. Even then I have many doubts.
As for chancers..... I'll go along if I can see something in it for me....
